I switched to the GNC chewable Solutron Vitamin. They are wild berry flavored and very good.

My doc also said flinstone chewables were fine. I took 2 but I recently found Centrum chewables and I just take that since I only have to chew 1...

I was banded 0n 7/15/08. My nurse, whose been banded for 2 years, suggested viactiv chewables. I love them, they are chocolate covered cherry flavor. They do not bother me at all, I usually eat it in evening it's like having a little piece of chocolate! Good luck!

I take 2 chewable "Building Blocks" Vitamins. My sister had gastric bypass years ago and was advised to take this vitamins that are specially formulated for bariatric patients. Now they have ones that are for Lap band patients. Had all my blood work checked for nutrients and vitamins and my readings so far are good.

Their website is www.bbvitamins.com

Check it out!

I actually found a liquid cherry flavored Vitamin at my local healthy food store.

I'm from the UK & I'm taking Haliborange Multi-Vitamin liquid, which tastes of orange (surprisingly!! ) & is yummy! Its the first Vitamin that I have taken for more than a fortnight!!

Looking at other answers on this post, I like the idea of the chocolate chews! I've found the Viactiv website but can't find anywhere to buy them, outside of the US. I can't even ask a question on the website because of having to say I'm from a particular state of the US!!

Does anyone know of a website that would ship these to the UK? I've found a few on Ebay (all from US) but they seem to be selling "out of date" ones & the shipping costs seem a bit expensive!

Any help on this would be appreciated. I want to try the chocolate Multi-Vitamins & also the Chocolate Calcium chews!

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm terrible at remembering to take Vitamins (I think it's because I have five pills to take every morning to begin with, and somehow manage to "forget" the vitamin), but was repulsed at the taste of children's chewables. Now I know why I found a hidden cache of tossed Vitamins in the bottom of my son's closet, lol! They really are awful! I haven't found a single brand I could stomach.

Today I went and bought Centrum Silver in Mixed berry flavor. When I opened the jar and saw the actual size of these things, I blanched at the thought of having to chew something that size that just might taste no better than Flintstones did. Boy, was I ever wrong! I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're delicious, but they are most definitely easily palatable. No "lemon face" for me!

What a pleasant suprise that was. I'm hoping this run-down feeling I have will soon be in the past, because I'm sure I've been needing more nutrients in my diet these days.

I am a huge costco fan, so I have a giant bottle of Kirkland brand Vitamins and I split them up before taking them.

I use the Gummy BEARS - get them at Sam's Club - like a Costco.......After a year of Fintstones yucky gritty these are an amazing - I eat two a day good luck

Does calcium citrate come in a chewable? My dr. and nutritionist both told me that the body hardly absorbs Calcium carbonate. At my age, I don't want osteoporosis.

I chew up those chocolate calcium chews too, but they are calcium carbonate, so I think I do it mainly because they taste good. I take the citrucil petites which are calcium citrate, but I want to go to chewables. Does anyone know if you can get calcium citrate in a chewable? I don't have a costco here. I get everything at Walmart, but I will order online if I have to.

I buy "Bariatric Advantage" chewables - kind of taste like sweet tarts. The pharmacy in the hospital where I got banded have them. I wish I would have bought the chewable calcium citrate (maybe I will make a trip) because it's hard to cut those big horse pills up every day.

I think you can buy the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins online.

After hearing a radio segment on the binders in chewables and preservatives in liquids I decided to try a powder multiple that you mix with liquid. I really like it and I can tell the difference in how I feel. I went with the All One brand and actually chose the senior formula because it has some extra things like Ginko.
